About this weed

Solanum incanum is characterized by its fragrant zygomorphic flowers and berry enclosed in an accrescent calyx.
The ripe fruits are often yellow and shiny, although some species have red fruits.
The unripe fruits are usually most toxic, with the active principle being solanine, a bitter glycoalkaloid.
Solanum incanum is a perennial plant that can grow to be 90–120 cm tall or up to 3 meters tall if the stems become woody.
It has simple, broad leaves and berries, and can grow to 1.5 meters.
The fruit is mottled or striped green and light green, and yellow when ripe.
Solanum incanum is toxic to livestock and is considered a major threat to grazing.
